The Crows are confident Milera and Ellis-Yolmen will get through main training on Wednesday and be available for Saturday's crucial Showdown 47 with Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Both missed last Friday night's loss to Geelong. Lynch is also a chance to return after missing the past three games with a calf injury he sustained in the warm-up of the round 12 game against Greater Western Sydney. The big surprise is Jenkins, who remarkably could be back for next week's game against Gold Coast – a month after he was stretchered off Adelaide Oval with a knee injury in the round 13 win against Geelong. The key forward has completed three running sessions in the past week and is taking part in high intensity drills. Poholke will be unavailable this weekend after sitting out the second half of last weekend's SANFL game against Sturt with a calf injury. He will be assessed further later this week. - Lee Gaskin

McInerney is the big concern after his sickening knock against Melbourne. At training on Tuesday he was purely an onlooker and will follow the protocol through the week to assess his availability to take on GWS on Sunday. - Michael Whiting 

The Blues expect Curnow to miss the next month due to a knee injury, but Cripps and Cuningham face fitness tests on Thursday to determine their availability for this weekend's clash with Melbourne. McKay remains another week away due to a groin problem. - Riley Beveridge

Elliott will make his long-awaited return but Reid is set to be sidelined for multiple weeks, while Aish and Sier will undergo fitness tests before a decision is made on their availability for the important clash with Hawthorn at the MCG on Friday night. Howe and Adams are both at least another week away and a timeframe on Langdon is expected to be known soon. Wills and Quaynor will attempt to prove they are over niggles. Murphy's recovery has been slow and Kelly will also spend a considerable time on the sidelines. Stephenson will be available at finals time while Beams and Wells will race the clock to return before season's end, but the campaign seems over for fellow veteran Dunn after a second anterior cruciate ligament rupture in nine months. - Ben Collins

The Bombers' injuries from last week hurt their finals bid. Bellchambers' season is in doubt after that calf tear against Greater Western Sydney, while Ambrose is scheduled for about four weeks off with his quad injury but has a history of soft-tissue concerns. Guelfi should be made available after missing last week, while Stringer's return date is up in the air. It could be this week, but will depend on if he can get back to running at full pace. - Callum Twomey

Sandilands was moving well during a recovery/skills session on Tuesday after a heavy workout at the weekend and is on track to play his first game this year – although it remains to be seen at which level. After a month out, Lobb was only on light duties at Cockburn, completing some individual limbering up work not far from Hill, who hit close to top pace during straight-line running exercises. Hogan should be back running this weekend after going down with a mid-foot sprain two rounds ago. Meek's season is probably over after foot surgery. - Travis King

The list is slowly whittling down with Touk Miller back from a quad problem and Hanley and Murdoch both expected to be available. Rankinewill play his first game in the NEAFL after successive hamstring injuries have sidelined him since the pre-season. - Michael Whiting

Whitfield will play against the Lions on Sunday, provided he gets through training, while draftee Jye Caldwell has recovered faster than anticipated from a calf injury and will play NEAFL this week. Patton is also expected to make his playing return from his third knee reco in the next couple of weeks, having completed a month of solid training. However, Sheridan is set for a stint on the sidelines after reinjuring his calf in the NEAFL on Friday night - Adam Curley

The prognosis for both Wingard and Scrimshaw hasn't changed for several weeks, after last playing in rounds 11 and 10, respectively. Schoenmakers' horror run of Achilles and calf setbacks continues, with him and Pittonet not playing in the VFL last weekend. Roughead needs to pass a fitness test to return at AFL or VFL level this weekend. - Marc McGowan

All eyes will be on Gawn, who has to get through training this week to play, while Lever is in the same boat. Jetta is likely to play restricted minutes in the VFL this weekend alongside Chandler and Keilty, who is ahead of schedule. Kolodjashnij's concussion symptoms have cleared but the club is being cautious given his history, while Stretch is in a similar situation, battling a foot complaint that has occurred before. - Sarah Black

The feelgood story is Daw's impending return in the VFL at Arden St on Sunday – assuming he gets through training – after suffering serious injuries in mid-December. He'll be on restricted minutes if he does play. Hall and Tyson could join him in returning in the same match. Star defender Robbie Tarrant doesn't appear on the injury list despite pulling up a bit sore post-match on Saturday night. The news isn't so good for youngsters Hayden and Walker, who've both been ruled out for the season. Veterans Jamie Macmillan (calf) and Sam Wright (ankle) were back in action in the VFL at the weekend. - Marc McGowan

Broadbent has returned to training after taking a break to deal with mental health issues. He will decide when he feels ready to make himself available to play. Trengove is at least another two weeks away from returning from a quad laceration. Watts hasn't given up hope of making a miraculous return from a badly broken leg if the Power reach the finals. - Lee Gaskin

A vastly reduced injury list this week after a mammoth six players returned for last round's match against St Kilda. Draftee English is a chance to return to the VFL, while Riewoldt's long-awaited return could come against Greater Western Sydney next week. - Sarah Black

Both Steven and Lonie were in full training last Thursday. Lonie should be back at some level this weekend, but with Steven there are obviously other factors to consider before he returns. Webster continues to struggle with a right hand issue that has kept him out since round eight. - Dinny Navaratnam

Sinclair will likely miss at least a month as he tries to recover from a twice-dislocated shoulder without surgery. Naismith is on the verge of training with the main group but will require several weeks' preparation ahead of an expected return near the end of the season, while Cameron hopes to play again within a fortnight. McVeigh is more likely to play next week than this weekend, given his recent history of soft-tissue injuries, while Cunningham is ready to go again after his adductor injury. - Adam Curley

Barrass jogged laps on Tuesday before participating in some of the 45-minute skills session, without exerting himself, and seems likely to overcome a corked calf in time for Saturday night's Western Derby. There was no sign of Vardy, Petruccelle or Venables. - Travis King

Star back-pocket Daniel will miss his first game since round 15 last season, with a hamstring injury suffered late against Port Adelaide on Saturday. Midfielder Wallis is expected to be available from an ankle issue, while Liberatore remains a few weeks away from selection. - Paul Bastin
